  Apart from forty or fifty personal interviews, the research for Klondike was done at the public and reference libraries in Seattle, San Francisco, New York, and Toronto; at the University of Washington library in Seattle; at the Pacific Northwest Library in Victoria; at the Public Archives of Canada, and, most especially, at the library of the University of Toronto.

  I wish again to thank Helen Parker for permission to read and quote from the manuscript memoir of her husband, Bert Parker, “Kid on the Trail” (parts of it published in Maclean’s Magazine), and also to record my gratitude to the late Mrs. J. A. Sinclair for her kindness in allowing me to use her husband’s papers. I should also like to thank James Medill of Vancouver for making the papers of his father, Robert Medill, available to me for the Revised Edition, and Edward C. Bearss for lending me his microfilmed copies of the Dyea Trail and Dyea Press. Mr. Bearss’s historic resource study for the United States section of the proposed Gold Rush Historic Park was also extremely useful to me in revising the text. The complicated business of providing source notes for a book that did not originally contain any was handled by Ennis Halliday Armstrong with great efficiency. Again I must record my gratitude to Mrs. Betty Johnstone for her very useful comments on two earlier drafts of the manuscript and to my wife, who was indefatigable and persistent over a period of five years in tracking down obscure books, periodicals, and people. Without her assistance I could not have completed my researches.
